Patch 10.4 has been installed

27 Juillet 2015

The maintenance is over and we present patch 10.4 - new legendary talents, sets, changes in hero name colour from his/her power, the Fair and much more awaits you!

Legendary Talents

We’re delighted to introduce a new set and rarity level of talents: legendary! Just like exclusive talents, the legendary talents will be released in thematic sets. Our first set, Birth of a Legend, contains several subsets. Each subset features a unique passive or active effect for one of its talents (just like in the exclusive Dark Legacy set).

Legendary talents are incredibly rare – to get them, you need to pay 10 legendary prime crystals to reforge 3 orange talents at the Talent Forge/Talent Garden. Or, you can purchase them at the Fair. Reforging one legendary talent into another legendary talent costs 8 legendary prime crystals.

These talents can be used by heroes at level 25 and higher.

Legendary talents are marked red in the library and in heroes’ talent sets.

Legendary crystals can only be obtained by completing certain quests or by purchasing them at the Fair.

The new set’s talents are listed and described below.

Upgrading class talents

To balance character builds and the impact of talents, class talents can now be upgraded just like other talents.

In connection with this, the base Power stat for each class talent has been changed to 45.

The sole effect of upgrading a class talent will be increasing its Power. The damage stat for class talents will not increase.

Upgrading a class talent to level 5 will boost its power to 90. In this way, a hero who fully upgrades his class talents will have earned an additional 404 power.

Now that power levels have been changed, the power requirements for name colors have been changed, as well:

Power

Name Color

1230 - 1499

1800 - 2099

The Fair

The Fair really lives up to its name – a place to exchange your resources, gold, and silver for various useful goods such as crystals and talents (including legendary ones).

Seven offers will be available in this building every day, and a Golden Age unlocks an additional three. Each day, you can only take advantage of each offer once. The list of offers will be updated every day, and resetting unused offers can only be done with prime crystals. You can spend prime crystals to instantly reset the available offers. When you do this, only unused offers will be reset. The minimum number of reset offers, however, is two. So if a player takes all 10 offers and resets the offer selection, 2 new offers will be presented.

This building is available once the Lord reaches level 12. It costs 500 Sap/Ore to build.

Heroes

Fang/Claw

Wild Beast talent

Damage increased by 50%

Lone Star talent

Damage increased by 20%

Curse of the Beast talent

Now this effect also reduces damage taken from the target’s attack by 6.6–50 (depending on Intellect)

Battles

Kitton

Kitton now appears on the battlefield after 7 minutes, not after 5 as before. This change adds variety to the number of viable character and strategy choices, which were previously limited by the cat’s appearance.

Elite Pack

To make this pack more important, the following changes have been made:

The interval between appearances of the Elite Pack has been increased from 4 minutes to 5.

The health of the Woodwose in the Elite Pack has been increased by 25%

The amount of Prime received for the Woodwose in the Elite Pack has been increased:

Killing the Woodwose now earns the player 110 Prime, not 76 as before

The team now earns 120 Prime for killing the Woodwose, not 85 as before

Tournaments

To simplify tournament organization, the qualifying stages are now carried out via special in-game quests, each of which unlocks access to a special tournament mode.

Players will no longer need to apply for tournaments in a special section of the forum. Simply complete the quest you receive to advance to the next stage of the tournament.

Other

Castles now display the stat bonuses that players receive from clan buffs.
